Transcribe was originally slated for "early 2020," with the mobile app support coming in "the spring," so it might be another season before it makes it to other devices. Transcribe only supports English at the moment, and it's due to hit the Android and iOS Word apps later this year.

Tom Warren at The Verge notes that transcription time varies while uploading audio, but text translation works in seconds if done live. Want to verify Transcribe's accuracy?

Drag and drop text from the menu to the document.Click the Dictate button in the toolbar.
